## Summary

The Common Services Agency, also known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed the procurement process for supplying Medical Examination Gloves. This procurement, initiated through an open procedure, focuses on health categories and is intended for NHS Scotland entities as per the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. The procurement was executed by NSS's National Procurement division, located in Edinburgh. Key dates include the tender period ending on 23rd August 2024 and contracts signed in January 2025. The procurement encompasses sterile and non-sterile nitrile gloves for various NHS Scotland facilities and associated entities, focusing on sustainability, environmental considerations, and pricing.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those offering nitrile gloves. SMEs and larger companies alike were awarded contracts, encouraging broad competition. The framework agreement, lasting up to six years with possible extensions, opens possibilities for consistent revenue streams and business growth. Companies with a focus on high-quality, sustainable medical goods would benefit most, especially those capable of fulfilling large-scale orders across diverse healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, ambulance services, and blood transfusion services throughout Scotland.
